Kehl Dortmund's man with a plan at Freiburg

Borussia Dortmund's Sebastian Kehl revealed that his winner at Freiburg was the result of a plan to catch goalkeeper Oliver Baumann napping.

Kehl, a former Freiburg midfielder, returned to haunt his former club with a stunning 25-yard strike that settled Sunday's fixture at the Mage Solar Stadion.

Dortmund's hard-fought 1-0 win saw them move four points clear of third-placed Bayer Leverkusen and, although runaway leaders Bayern Munich are almost beyond catching, finishing as runners-up would represent a good result for Jurgen Klopp's side this season.

They have battled an injury crisis and the departure of Mario Gotze to Bayern Munich, while they were hit by the news that star striker Robert Lewandowski will also join the European champions at the season's end.

Captain Kehl's second-half goal was an instinctive strike from distance, with his effort curling over Freiburg's Baumann, who was off his line, and into the back of the net.
